Today we're launching the second phase of our Incentivized Testnet, opening zkVerify to the broader community. After a first phase focused on technical implementation, we're now inviting everyone to join our journey. Whether you're a ZK developer ready to build the future of proof verification or a community member excited to learn and contribute, there's a place for you.

Our Phase 2 operates along two parallel tracks, each designed to reward all contributions to the zkVerify ecosystem.

Introducing the zkVerify Galxe campaign

New to ZK? Perfect. We've designed a campaign on Galxe that lets everyone participate and earn points. Through a series of engaging quests, you'll learn about zkVerify and ZK proofs, share your knowledge, and help build our community. No technical background is needed - just bring your curiosity. More quests will be gradually released over the next few weeks.

To make your experience even more seamless, we’re covering gas fees for early participants. That means you can complete quests, claim your Incentivized Testnet points, and engage with zkVerify without worrying about transaction costs. This gasless experience is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so the earlier you join, the more you can benefit. Points earned through the campaign will directly contribute to your journey in zkVerify - stay tuned for more updates as new quests roll out!

Participate Now!

Technical tasks

For developers and technical contributors, we've maintained and enhanced our Phase 1 technical challenges. The centerpiece remains our verification pallet development program, now offering an impressive 50,000 points reward! Other challenges remain, such as integrating zkVerify into your ZK project.

Whether you're building a new ZK application or adding ZK capabilities to an existing project, we want to support your innovation. The points awarded scale with the complexity and impact of your integration.

After the successful integration, prove it works by sending proofs to zkVerify for verification. Our system is designed for rapid, cost-effective proof verification, and we reward active usage. The more proofs you send, the more points you earn.

Track everything in one place

We're developing a dedicated dApp to serve as a dashboard for the Incentivized Testnet. This platform brings together achievements from both technical and community tracks, providing a main hub to track your contributions. Whether you're into technical tasks, or completing Galxe quests, all your progress will be tracked in one place.

The dApp will feature a comprehensive leaderboard where you will be able to:

  • Monitor your point accumulation in real-time
  • See how you compare against other participants
  • View detailed breakdowns of your contributions
  • Earn badges!

This will be coming soon, until then, you can already see how you compare against other participants on the Galxe leaderboard!
